Why does life seem so overwhelming to me
Life lately, it just seems so heavy to carry around with me. Pressures from school, I mean if I don't do well here, what am I going to do with me. Troubles with religion - am I doomed to spend eternity in ***, am I doing enough for god, is he actually real. Relationship m, I've never been in one. I don't know if that makes me an outsider, or if I'm falling behind. Just seeming really lost. The worst part of this is that I don't know if I'm genuinely struggling or If I just want to tell myself I am, for self - guilt, I don't know if I'm overreacting. Really confusing.
First, good luck in school. Struggling with performance is a real stress. Keep up the hard work. You can do it. There is something out there for you one way or another.
Second, I believe God is real. Good question about what to do for God. I think take care of yourself and then if you have some time left over you can help others too. Sometimes you have to schedule stuff in. When I was working and with small children, I just donated to the church and that was all I had time for. You can do what you can, in my view.
I have a devotional I read daily and I highly recommend them. They are so nice just to feel connected to God and focused for the day.
I recall my Sunday school teacher as a child saying just believe and repent and have faith and Jesus would take care of the rest. He died for our sins and we are washed clean. You don’t have to live in guilt. Maybe join a church if you haven’t already and find some fellowship there?
Peace be with you.
